Dominique Cerutti (born January 3, 1961 in Manosque, France) is a French businessman and has been Chairman and CEO of the Altran group since June 2015. Altran is a consultancy for innovation and high technology engineering.
Dominique Cerutti began his career as an engineer for French company Bouygues Construction in Saudi Arabia, where he was based for nearly two years.
He moved to IBM in 1986 starting out in sales engineering and sales management. He remained at IBM for more than 20 years.
At IBM, he was promoted to his first management position in 1996 as the Director of Personal Systems Group for Western Europe.
Over the following decade, Cerutti ascended the ranks of IBM, and worked in roles that were particularly international. In 1998, he became Executive Assistant to the Chairman and CEO, Lou Gerstner.
In 2000, he moved to IBM Global Services, the leading market services provider in Europe, first as General Manager for Western Europe and then for the whole EMEA region. He managed tens of thousands of employees in 17 different sectors. In 2005, Cerutti became IBM’s General Manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
According to his former IBM colleagues, Cerutti starkly contrasted with the company’s generally diffident management style, and preferred to clearly outline strategies for his teams.
In 2009 Dominique Cerutti left IBM to join NYSE Euronext, the global exchange group, as President and Deputy CEO. He was also CEO of Euronext NV, the European subsidiary of NYSE Euronext, and Chairman and CEO of Euronext Paris. In 2010, he was appointed as Board Member of the Group. He undertook one of his first notable projects as a member of the Board: compliance with the EU’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. According to him, this directive decreased transparency in financial markets by allowing the creation of alternative exchange platforms at a time when “the need for transparence has never been so acute.”
In November 2013, he moved up from Deputy CEO of NYSE to become the CEO of Euronext.
In June 2014, he oversaw Euronext’s IPO as an independent company after it separated from parent company ICE. As CEO of Euronext, he turned around the strategy of the group, moving away from the legacy of his predecessor, Jean-François Théodore. In September 2014, he embarked on a program to increase operational savings by €60 million over the next three years, with the goal of achieving a 5% annual revenue growth and improve the company's long-term EBITDA margin from 42% to 53%.
